Talking Footy

The headmaster at my children's school (from Victoria) is a mad AFL fan and has been trying to get all kids into AFL, in one way or another for the last few years without much success. So how does one cunning AFL diehard get around this you may ask, he enforces it.

Here is how it panned out this year so far.
Term 1 - Auskick,
Term 2 - The headmaster arranges more AFL flavoured activities in PE, coupled with a convenient visit from some AFL players. This followed by some friendly encouragement to play it for interschool sport next term on assembly etc.

My young bloke was saying he wanted to give it a go. Much to my disgust, but I thought, it is his decision, so give it a go.That was until I heard today that the above has been leading to this. Both my daughter and son only have two options for interschool sport (this hasn't been communicated to loudly to parents mind you). First Drama, second AFL.

So if you want to play any sport that involves a ball next term boys and girls, it has to be AFL says headmaster Hitler . This is up there with one of the most pathetic, manipulative things I think I have seen in my life. :-+

I am now considering not letting him play AFL as I am disgusted by how manipulative it is.

Pretty poor, I agree.

Yes, that's not good at all. Kids should be exposed to all types of sports.

A lot of my son's friends want him to play rugby as they say he is a natural. I would be happy for him to give it a go. We have heaps of kids who play league and AFL at my son's club. Kids should have heaps of options ... He also surfs with me and has played baseball. Obviously his first love is AFL but good to experience difference.

Look I'm not saying your wrong but have you spoken to the headmaster to clarify what's actually going on???? I would assume that sports such as soccer and netball would also be on offer - just a suggestion - if you are right then I would that would be disgraceful!

What's the problem FFS??

A headmaster arranges physical activity for obese kids - Congratulations.
A headmaster invites VIP to encourage further participation - congratulations.
A headmaster arranges interschool sport - congratulations.

Reality check schools only have so many options and in primary school in WA it's AF and soccer.
You might have RU as an option in high school.

Oh my kid wants to play AR in Sydney - fat chance - well it used to be that way. Now a lot of schools play interschool AF because of the growth of AF in NSW

Not sure if fits here but the nrl development guy for Gold Coast ... His three sons play AFL. Just thought that was a bit funny.

Spoken like a true cultist,
Did you even read what was written.

Tell me Stupid if a NSW person became Headmaster of a school in Victoria WA or SA & made sure the only sport available was RL ,you & plenty of others would be having a fit.

What he is doing is not giving kids a choice ,but forcing them to play his choice of sport.
As has been stated many times.
It is cult like the way the fumble disciples try to CONVERT people .
& can you show me anywhere it is stated these are OBESE kids.

You are a straight out loon & I am dead set serious.

You mean like NSW schools have been doing for over a century.

What dont you understand.
This is not denying a sport in another sports heartland.
You totally ignored what I asked.
This is denying the kids playing the dominant sport in their heartland.
You are thicker than a plank.

Are you obese cos?

Braindead & a compulsive liar would be more apt

You're fecking brain dead morons that cannot comprehend the simplest logic and so resort to irrelevant shyte trying to disguise your ineptitude.
You've been owned.
There's been NO fecking consparcy by any headmaster. He does what any headmaster does -provide sport within the confines of available resources.
The AFL supplies development officers to promote the game NOT any headmaster.
If the nrl spent some money maybe that might help you.

So an AFL cultist ******* who has been in Dogs words.

The headmaster at my children's school (from Victoria) is a mad AFL fan and has been trying to get all kids into AFL, in one way or another for the last few years without much success. So how does one cunning AFL diehard get around this you may ask, he enforces it.

Only gives kids one option for sport & it is his choice & you see nothing wrong with that.

I asked you before & you keep ignoring..why is that?.

Again .

Tell me Stupid if a NSW person became Headmaster of a school in Victoria WA or SA & made sure the only sport available was RL ,you & plenty of others would be having a fit,would you not?.



There is no problem giving children a choice no matter which state..



THIS cultist gave them ONE.His sport.

& you are showing just how deep you are into the AFL cult.
Other AFL fans think its wrong ,as would most normal people .
You are on the defensive ,.
